movers reseting positions when fading into other scenes
Hi! Whenever I try to fade some scenes and switches on my design spot 250 pros they do a position reset before going to the next position. Now, most of my scenes do these but two of them don't. This happens when my pan changes but not my tilt in these scenes any help is appreciated.

hi when you say position RESET do you mean like when they first power on? Like a full XY re-home? or they just lose their position for a bit then they fade into the set Pt position?

i mean they do their position reset whenever I turn them on. then lets say I want them to go to the drums. They go to the drums but then if I want them to go to the keys and I press the keys scene instead of just fading to that position they fade to their home position then to they keys scene. but they do not stop at the home position they just fade into them home position and continue to their next destination. Usually the same thing for tilt

Hi, do you have a fade out time in use? Try it with 0 fade out time, cause i think that it is fading out to your home position and then going to the position you clicked on.

Console/control is JandsVista V3 A...
